The army also contributed to the show with an air commando song, with words by Col. Reed G. dLandis and music by Capt. William Dekker and Maj. Harry Cohen Jr. A fighting song, the words are:

But if you want the battle won Beyond the chance of doubt, You'll need the Air Commandos To put the foe to rout.

In one instance the Germans stationed automatic riflemen in 11 damaged tanks, but the engie neers, with tractors and the support of two light guns, took the tanks in tow in the dead of night. The Germans were, unable to use their rifles and were forced to slip from the tanks and flee as they went rolling along toward the Russian lines. In another cas¢, Germans guarding damaged German tanks fled in the night awhen the trace tors and light guns roared toward them, evidently helieving the ‘tractors were tanks sent to attack.

LONDON, Aug. 4 (U. P.).—Jugoslav patriot activities -have forced Benito Mussolini to call a formal Italian war conference to map plans for the ruthless subjugation of the country, it was revealed todey. Axis radios made it known that Mussolini had presided at a conference at Gorizia, 20 miles from the turbulent Jugoslavia border, to discuss with his highest army leaders a situation which, he implied, was attaining the proportions of a seccnd allied front. : Addressing a crowd from the balcony of the Gorizia governor's palace after the two-hour conference, Mussolini mentioned allied plans for a seconq front and said, the Berlin radio reported: “There will be no second front here, and it is improbable that a second front will be set up anywhere else in the world.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Aug. 4 (U. P.).—One British soldier was killed and several American soldiers were stabbed in a knife fight in a dance hall, it was revealed -today at an inquest. The coroner said he did not think that anyone involved in the fight had any intentions to kill and that he “trusted that this unfortunate incident will not mar the good rela-
tions existing between the British and American forces.”

How serious the Jugoslav situa= tion was from the axis viewpoint was shown by British reports that even now heavy fighting was going on near Ljubljana, Jugoslavia, only 45 miles east of Italian Gorizia, a leading army base, between -Jugoslav patriots and axis forces.

Use water on your yard wisely. It is better to soak.the lawn thoroughly once or twice a week than to sprinkle lightly every day.
Don’t allow fire hazards—trash, paper, and other combustible materials—to exist around homes, stores, and factories. It requires water to put out a fire once it gets started.
Use all the water you need for sanitation, for . cooking, washing, bathing, and for drinking. The health of all citizens is vital for Victory.
Water consarvation is a public duty for everyone, especially during the dry months!

To be wasteful and extravagant in the use of Safe Water is just as sinful during these fateful days as to be wasteful and extravagant in the use of any other commodity needed to crush the nation’s ruthless enemies.
Make sure there are no leaks in your water pipes and plumbing fixtures. Leaks are wasteful as well as costly for you!
Avoid wasteful water habits such as turning on the faucet full force when only a little water is needed, or letting the faucet run con. stantly while washing hands or doing other things. Little. items perhaps—but BIG in war days when Safe Water is so essential to human and industrial needs. _
